みなさん、こんにちは。ごはん太郎です。このチャンネルでは、日本のおいしいごはんをご紹介します。

３月３日はひな祭り。女の子の幸せを願う日です。雛人形（ひなにんぎょう）という伝統的な人形を飾ります。

また、”ひなあられ”というお菓子を食べたりします。実はこのひなあられは、関東と関西で味も見た目も違うんです。

関東のひなあられは、軽い食感で、甘い味です。ピンクや白や黄色などカラフルでかわいい。
関西のひなあられは、小さなおせんべいみたいでもので、塩味や醤油味など。白や緑など落ち着いた色です。

このように関東と関西で違う食べ物ははたくさんあります。お正月に食べる”お雑煮（ぞうに）”の味も違います。
日本に遊びにきたら、ぜひ関東と関西の食べ物の違いも見つけてみてくださいね。

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中国的酒文化】。
中国的酒文化博大精深。一壶美酒从千百年前传承到现在，酒已经成了生活中必不可少的饮品。酒的酿造,在我国有着相当悠久的历史。三四千年前，勤劳的祖先就发明了酿酒技术。
在古代，主人和宾客一起饮酒时，要相互跪拜。晚辈在长辈面前饮酒，通常要先行跪拜礼，然后坐入次席。长辈让晚辈饮酒，晚辈才可举杯；长辈酒杯中的酒尚未饮完，晚辈也不能先饮尽。
到了现代则没有那么复杂，一般是由主人说一些祝酒词；由晚辈倒酒以示尊敬；敬酒时要按顺序来，不能这一个那一个。
细数整个历史，中国的文学艺术家和酒有着很大的缘分。李白是唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人。他每逢作诗作词必定要酒相伴,不喝就写不出来，越喝写诗词越顺畅，诗词越美。
与酒有关的诗句也有很多。例如“酒逢知己千杯少”，意思是指酒桌上遇到知己，喝一千杯酒都还嫌少。形容性情相投的人聚在一起总不厌倦。还有“何以解忧，唯有杜康”，意思是：有什么可以排解我的忧愁，那就只有美酒了。（相传酒是杜康发明的，所以常常会用杜康这个人名来指代美酒）。还有一句“醉翁之意不在酒”，比喻一个人做一件事的本意不在此，而在别的方面。
你们国家的酒文化是什么样的？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
